Comes with the territory. The point is to control who has access to what information so that they don’t get wrong ideas.
if you think AI software will be able to differentiate between a 15 year old and 16 year old then I have this cool bridge in Brooklyn that you might be interested in.
This is delusional to the point where it feels like we’re literally devolving.
Trusting your face to Facebook is just as terrifying, thanks.

The senate inquiry outlined the two likely solutions :
-
Uploading ID to the website.

That wasnt difficult.
If this would indeed be the case, I would be really happy.
They have no specified otherwise so its a case of why would
